ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and may adversely affect 

non-target plants. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or 

runoff into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying 

this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours 

will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the 

treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help 

avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems. 

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected 

in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, 

particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater 

contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination 

of drinking water or groundwater. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent 

with its labeling. 

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

• Do not apply this product in a way that will contact any person or pet, either 

directly or through drift. Keep people and pets out of the area during application.

This product offers these advantages: 

• Rapid and effective Weed control for common and troublesome Weed species 

in turf grass. 

• Fast acting with evidence of injury within hours. Generally, the injury symptoms 

can be noticed within hours of the application and plant death can occur 

within 7 - 14 days. 

WHERE TO USE 

This product is intended for use on most Ornamental Lawns including: 

COOL SEASON TURFGRASS WARM SEASON TURFGRASS 

Kentucky Bluegrass 

Common Bermudagrass 

Perennial Ryegrass 

Hybrid Bermudagrass 

Tall Fescue 

Bahiagrass 

Red or Fine Leaf Fescues 

Zoysiagrass 

Colonial Bentgrass 

Buffalograss 

Mixtures of Cool Season Species 

St. Augustinegrass 

Centipedegrass 

Turfgrass Tolerance: 

The turfgrass tolerance to ferti-lome ® Weed Free Zone may vary and temporary 

turfgrass yellowing may occur on St. Augustinegrass and certain varieties of 

Hybrid Bermudagrass. 

ferti-lome ® Weed Free Zone may injure certain turfgrass species. To reduce 

risk of Lawn injury, avoid spraying drought stressed Lawns or when temperatures 

are above 90°F. 

Prohibitions: 

• Do not use this product on ‘Floratam’ or ‘Bitterblue’ varieties of St. Augustinegrass 

in Florida. 

• Do not use this product on Carpetgrass, Dichondra or Lawns containing desirable 

Clovers. 

• Do not apply this product to St. Augustinegrass during Spring green-up 

which is the transition period between dormancy and active growth. 

3 


• Do not spray roots of Trees or Ornamentals. 

• Do not allow spray drift onto Vegetables, Flowers, Ornamental Plants, Shrubs, 

Trees and other desirable plants since injury may result. 

• Do not exceed specified dosages for any area. Be particularly careful within 

dripline of Trees and other Ornamental species. 

• Do not apply as a fine mist because of potential injury to desirable plants. 

• Do not apply directly to or near water, storm drains, gutters, sewers, or drainage 

ditches. Do not apply within 25 feet of rivers, fish ponds, lakes, streams, 

reservoirs, marshes, estuaries, bays, and oceans. Do not apply when windy. 

To prevent product runoff, do not over water the treated area to the point of 

runoff or apply when raining or when rain is expected that day. Rinse applicator 

over lawn or garden area only. 

WHEN TO APPLY 

Spray when Broadleaf Weeds are young and actively growing for best results. 

ferti-lome ® Weed Free Zone may be applied in the Spring, Summer, or Fall. 

Spring and Fall treatments under adequate soil moisture conditions are preferred 

to the Summer treatments. Generally, Summer broadcast application to 

older, drought stressed Weeds are less effective. 

Broadcast (entire areas) applications or follow-up applications at 2-6 week intervals 

are recommended for more mature Weeds, for dense infestations, and 

for adverse environmental conditions. 

Spot treatments during the summer may be appropriate for sparse infestations 

or as a follow-up treatment, or any time broadleaf weeds are susceptible. 

CULTURAL TIPS FOR IMPROVED CONTROL 

Irrigation: 

• Do not apply this product immediately before rainfall or irrigation. Rain or 

watering within 4 hours after treatment may reduce effectiveness. 

Mowing: 

• Delay mowing 1 to 2 days before and after the application of this product. 

Reseeding Interval: 

• Treated areas may be reseeded 2 weeks after application.

How To Apply Using The Ready To Spray System 

1. Measure the total (entire) lawn to be sprayed. For rectangle areas, multiply 

the length by the width to obtain total square feet. 

2. Connect a garden hose to the hose-end sprayer. Make sure the control valve 

on the nozzle is in the OFF position. 

TO BEGIN spraying: Turn on water at faucet. Point nozzle toward lawn to be 

treated and turn the control valve to the ON position. Water will automatically 

mix with the product. Spray evenly over the measured area. 

3. SPRAY: spray evenly over the measured area. Walk at a steady pace. Refer to 

the view strip [graduated scale] on the side of the container to guide coverage. 

The 32 fl.oz. container will treat 16,000 to 43,000 sq.ft. of turfgrass. 

4. To STOP spraying: Turn the control valve to the OFF position. Turn off water 

at faucet. To relieve pressure, turn control valve to ON position and wait until 

water stops spraying before removing sprayer from hose.
